      Im aware your telling a joke, but some people literally hyper respond to certain compounds, theyre body probably makes less because of this so off gear they wont be that crazy but when they take it they shift into something else, its quite literally like adding the last jigsaw piece, depending on how honest with timelines you think ronnie is he would be an example of someone who wasnt actually a hyper responder his genetics were already that good

      At that time, the Americans were using growth hormone (undetectable and too expensive for the other athletes) while the other athletes were using steroids. Now growth hormone is affordable by all the sprinters and the playing field has been leveled. As a result, the US dominance in the sprints has diminished. Yes, I am a runner (with a lot of connections to the people in that race) with some inside knowledge....

      Carl Lewis had contracts for Grand Prix track and field events in Europe these happened during the offseason which is the heaviest workout season in a sprinter's year. Lewis would refuse to attend and literally had it in his contract that there must be absolutely zero drug testing. He grew an inch and a half after 19 years of age. If it wasn't for drugs he'd be as good a sprinter as he was at singing the national anthem

      Dianabol (dbol) is one of the steroids bodybuilders used most in Arnold’s era (you can easily find videos of him talking about this, as they weren’t illegal back then). What dbol does is add massive strength and mass gains, a lot of water weight/retention, and is a “wet” compound as with the water retention your blood pressure, estrogen, etc goes up.
      Tbol is like an adjusted dbol, snd is a “dry” compound. It has strength gains but not as crazy as dbol, but without any water retention, blood pressure issues, and estrogenic side effects, snd greatly increases endurance.
      Also bevause it was new, it was difficult to detect as you had to test for pulsating signs of it rather than a consistent showing.
      Jon jones was caught years ago through this method as well.

    Only two of the eight finalists in that 100m final were clean. They were Robson da Silva of Brasil, and Calvin Smith of the U.S. BTW, the women's 100m final was just as problematic. FloJo must have been quietly asked by the IOC to stop competing in the women's sprint race in exchange for keeping her times and titles. Because her very last competitive 100m sprint race was on October 6th, 1988 in Tokyo, Japan. Shortly after that in 1989, she announced she was "retiring" from sprinting to pursue the 5K, the 10K, and the marathon. Distances over which she could never be competitive. One has to wonder why she walked away from all that money to pursue the 5K, the 10K, and the marathon. It makes no sense.

      That’s not factual. Juice or no juice through Johnson’s earlier career he was always very fast out of the blocks. And then years after his career ended, he would continue to race in 50 yard dashes is in Asia and still was incredibly fast out of the box. What the drug enhancements did for him, was allowed to keep up the pace through the hundred yards. You tube it

    Watched that entire Olympics live on TV then. That entire Korean Olympics was dirty. The fans would go crazy in judged events if the Korean wasn't given the gold, judges were terrified. Look up what happened to Roy Jones Jr in that Olympics and the way he was cheated. The judges feared for their lives is why they went against Roy. Years later the Olympic committee overturned it and have him his gold.

      I remember being on a rugby league camp and everyone talking about who would win, Johnson or Lewis, it was huge news here in Australia. It always is the 100, but that one was mega. When he popped everyone crapped on him, i feel sorry for him now.
      The Jones Jr scandal was the most dispicable event in olympic history, he absolutely dominated, named boxer of the tournament, and they screwed him so bad. Think the Koreans bribed the french that they'd vote for their Olympic figure skater if they voted for their boxer, it was so obvious the commentators were having a fit. Boxing is an excellent sport but has grubs ruining it at every level.😊
